Maybe the old girlfriend particularly liked REO Speedwagon, or it was playing when she broke up with you. Oh wait. That’s me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotta choices 🤮 Mmmmm how about a corps show of crappy tunes done right? 1975 Hurricanes playing songs I couldn’t stand but 50 or so horns cranking it out made it enjoyable...

Used to a talk show hosted by Mike Douglas, on late afternoons. Once he had John Lennon and Yoko Ono as musical guests with their band. As they started to sing, this awful caterwauling came out of Yoko's mic. About 10-15 seconds into the piece, they obviously turned off her mic, as the sounds stopped, though her lips kept moving. 😎 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the 70's when Mangione was all the rage in drum corps, I arranged "Feels So Good" for my band when I was a band director. It was part of our field show, after the opener pf "Crown Imperial" and prior to our concert number of "Bohemian Rhapsody". The first few times we played it was fine. By the end of band camp, I hated that tune so much. For me, the absolute lamest Mangione tune ever, esp having to hear it hundreds of times through the fall of 77. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO when in college the local town radio station played top 40 and played Feels So Good when it was on the charts. Since the college had a large music program every time the shorter version of FSG would play students would call in to complain. DJ must have had it one night as I heard “OK you keep calling in so here is the LONG version on FSG.” It was not in a nice tone of voice... FYI long version was album version, single was the short one can still hear the stations ID “WDAD... the radio station..” and we would say “you’re a radio station. ? No ####” Edited January 23, 2020 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World-class chop-buster that she is... it was an REO Speedwagon tune. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
